PIP refusal

Hi I was just wondering how other autistic adults have found the PIP experience? Has anyone been successful in getting PIP? How did you explain your struggles? I got my decision today and they said I don’t qualify. Any help would be appreciated thank you

  • I got a call from them today after submitting my forms about 8 weeks ago. 

    The lady on the phone said she's a nurse and is calling regarding my PIP application. She asked if it was a good time - unfortunately it was really not, someone had just arrived at my door and I was in the middle of a work day - so I said unfortunately I wasn't able to talk and could she call me back. 

    I asked how long it would take and she said approx 15 minutes - everything else I have read online says it is 1hr? Also other people have said it was a video call, not a telephone call? I am not great at talking on the phone...

    I requested the call tomorrow morning after a particular time. Now I'm worried I've messed up by saying I can't talk, I was just so flustered and with other people in my house I couldn't speak freely...

    Any advice welcome.
